"Making individual decisions, and engaging in formal steps that are devoid of substance, like forming a new government without national consensus, is a reinforcement of a policy of exclusion and the deepening of division," the factions said in a statement. Such steps point to a "huge gap between the (Palestinian) Authority and the people, their concerns and their aspirations." The statement came the day after Abbas appointed Mohammed Mustafa, a long-trusted adviser on economic affairs, as prime... Читать дальше...

The powerful storms raked through the adjoining states of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. "We have three known fatalities," Sheriff Randall Dodds, of Logan County in west-central Ohio, told a CBS affiliate. "The devastation was such that we have to get heavy equipment into these areas to be able to move this material where homes have collapsed, to see if there's anybody injured," he said, adding, "it's going to take a long time." In all, more than 13 million people in the central United States were... Читать дальше...

Torino defender Raoul Bellanova, 23, made the cut along with Hellas Verona midfielder Michael Folorunsho, 26, and 23-year-old Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, who has scored seven goals in Serie A. Ex-Napoli coach Spalletti retained mostly the group who secured qualification for July's Euro 2024 in Germany with notably six players from Serie A leaders Inter Milan. Goal-scoring has been the weak point for 2021 European champions with Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi also out with an Achilles tendon problem. Читать дальше...

Here is what we know about the demands of both Hamas and Israel as mediators push for a deal to end the five-month-old war. What does Hamas want? The latest Hamas proposal calls for a truce of 42 days, during which it would release about 42 hostages seized during the October 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the war, the Hamas official said. In exchange for each hostage, Hamas wants between 20 and 50 Palestinian prisoners to be released from Israeli custody. The exchange could include women... Читать дальше...

"World Central Kitchen is unloading the barge connected now to the jetty," said Linda Roth, a spokesperson for the group. The Israeli military confirmed that the vessel, the Open Arms, had arrived in Gazan waters and said Israeli troops had "been deployed to secure the area".

It was the 67-year-old's son Patrick, also his assistant trainer, who told the Irish Examiner that is what sets his father apart from rivals such as Gordon Elliott and Nicky Henderson. This ability as well as 200 horses -- which he had to build up again when Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary took away 60 horses in 2016 -- has brought unprecedented success and dominance in jumps racing. Mullins's brilliance -- with typical humility and generosity of spirit he praises his team which also includes his... Читать дальше...

Netanyahu "approved the plans for action in Rafah," his office said in a statement, without giving details or a timeline. The statement said the military was "prepared for the operational side and for the evacuation of the population". Rafah is the last major population centre yet to be subjected to a ground assault during Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which was triggered by the militants' unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7. The attack resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people... Читать дальше...

A video of a Palestinian mother holding her dead baby twins in her arms after they were killed in Israeli airstrike began to circulate widely online after it was posted on March 3.

News agencies AP and Reuters reported details about their identities and forensic doctors interviewed by our team confirmed that the video does indeed show human remains.

The odds-on favourite, trained by Mullins and ridden immaculately by Paul Townend, followed up his 2023 success in jump racing's blue riband in emphatic fashion. In second came the well backed Gerri Colombe with Grand National winner Corach Rambler in third.

Winning owner Audrey Turley... Читать дальше...

The government's brutal suppression of the 2011 uprising triggered a civil war that killed more than half a million people, drew in foreign armies and jihadists, and divided the country. Former Al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) now controls a significant portion of Idlib province as well as surrounding areas, where hundreds have taken to the streets in recent weeks against HTS leader Abu Mohamed al-Jolani, with anger simmering after the death of a man in the group's custody. Hundreds... Читать дальше...

Old men leaning on canes, veiled women and smartly dressed children flowed through the gates of the Israeli-annexed Old City for the midday prayer, which unfolded peacefully, though some younger men were turned away by police conducting security checks. "It's random. They decide who they let in, who they don't let in, and you don't know why," said Amjad Ghalib, a 44-year-old carpenter from the Mount of Olives who described relief at being granted access. "I have to be honest, we are afraid," he said, a prayer mat resting on his shoulder. Читать дальше...

The call by Democratic Senate majority chief Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking elected Jewish American in history, was the most strident rebuke of Israel yet by a senior US official since Hamas's October 7 attacks. "He made a good speech, and I think he expressed serious concern shared not only by him, but by many Americans," Biden said when asked about the speech after a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at the White House. Biden told reporters in the Oval Office that Schumer had... Читать дальше...

The probe follows the filing of a complaint by the France-based International League against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA) on Wednesday, they said. The 28-year-old superstar is known worldwide for hits like "Djadja", which has close to a billion streams on YouTube alone. The alleged racist abuse began after media reports said the singer had discussed the possibility of performing a song by 20th-century icon Edith Piaf at a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron last month, though neither party has confirmed it.

President Vladimir Putin faces just three rivals in Russia's March 15-17 presidential election after anti-war candidates were barred from running. But Leonid Slutsky, Nikolai Kharitonov and Vladislav Davankov do not pose much of a challenge for the Russian leader, who is all but guaranteed to secure another six-year term.

O'Mahony and his teammates are under pressure to rebound from the 23-22 loss to England last Saturday which ended their dreams of historic back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams. O'Mahony did his side no favours by being sin-binned in the second-half and will be as motivated as anyone to redeem himself and cheer up the home crowd at Lansdowne Road. They could even win the championship by gaining two losing bonus points against a Scotland side on the hunt for their first ever Six Nations Triple Crown. Читать дальше...

A ship carrying 200 tons of aid approached the coast of Gaza on Friday in a mission to inaugurate a sea route from Cyprus to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the enclave five months into the war between Israel and Hamas.

Ramadan preparations in Jerusalem have been subdued because of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, now in its sixth month. But over the next few days, attention is likely to shift from Gaza to Al-Aqsa, which has been a frequent flashpoint for quickly escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence in the past. FRANCE 24's Catherine Norris Trent reports from Jerusalem.

In "Life: My Story Through History," to be published next week, the 87-year-old is in storytelling mode, joking around while also sharing personal anecdotes that have affected him deeply. The Catholic Church nearly missed out on its first South American pope after a young Jorge Bergoglio was bowled over by a girl. A first girlfriend, who worked in cinema, had not stopped Bergoglio from signing up to a seminary. But the trainee priest was at an uncle's wedding when he was "dazzled" by a girl "so beautiful and intelligent she turned my head"... Читать дальше...
